Hey there, fellow animator
Your showreel is the most important tool you’ve got if you’re trying to break into games or take the next step in your career. Over the years I’ve reviewed a ton of reels and hired animators at both AAA and indie studios, so I put this course together to share what actually makes a reel stand out. It’s not just about looking good — it’s about getting you hired.Â
